A warm front

Seems a warm front is moving in this week, which will be a nice change from the cold. Not that it has been that could for a while now, but the change is nice still the same. Hopefully it will be warm enough to allow a comfortable walk and maybe some new spring time photo’s.

Yesterday I had my first session with a new therapist, my regular therapist is a new mother so she will be out for a bit. I was afraid that I was going to have to start all over again, but that was not to case…entirely at any rate. Was not as bad as I thought perhaps it would be, was okay. Though entirely a different type of session then I am used to having, which is not all together bad I suppose. Probably about the time I am completely comfortable with this therapist, my normal one will be back eh.

On thing that was asked of me was to do an activity log, it’s hard enough for me to remember to do some things, this may prove to be a challenge. Though I could probably wait to the weeks end and write it up as most of my names are the same. But then again, it may not be, guess will give it a shot and see what comes of it.

My truck is still be worked on and it’s starting to piss me off a bit. Having problems with fuel, I think, when I need the extra power like when going up hill or passing. First it was this, then it was the computer even though their tester showed now signs of it having issues, and now the think it is the loose distributor cap. In my mind that should have been the first thing to check no? Guess we’ll see if that is it or now, I am not a mechanic but I am a problem solver to some degree and the simple things you usually do first yes? Though I should not complain, they have done an out standing job on the rest of it, rebuilt engine, new tires all the way around and a new ball joint for less then the dealership wanted to replace the blown engine.

Was a bit concerned last night and feeling hurt a bit too I must admit. Every time I went to stand up or straighten up it felt like something was being pinched in my lower back and down I would go to my hands and knee’s. Made a posting on Facebook and the other IM services I am on, where supposedly I have some friends. Anyways it hurt that I did not get any thoughts of concern or any thing else from any one. Maybe I am being petty, perhaps, but it really made me feel completely alone and the like. When I grabbed my meds for the night, I took an extra hit on the pain meds so I could sleep, which helped. But had to put some back, the thought of taking more did cross my mind, but didn’t.

I know that using the truck they lent me, while mine is in the shop, is hurting my back because I am never comfortable while sitting in it. And my back just screams to the high heavens when I get out. Damn I will be happy when I get my truck back. My oldest just bought his first house and I would like to go down for a couple of days and see that and my grandson again. Can’t do that with the loaner, well I probably could but not the way it hurts my back and truthfully I would not feel right using it for that purpose.

I have been trying to keep the momentum going on my physical therapy, or rather after physical therapy, on my shoulder and upper body. I have been trying to do push ups and curls for the last 2 to 3 months. Finally up to about 20 push up and 15 lbs curls, but my shoulder sure screams at me when I am done. But guess pain is good, least that is what I always tell myself, lets your know that your alive. And too I refuse to give up ya know? What quality of life would I have if I could or was afraid to do anything because it caused some pain? Though it is probably good that I am not around a lot of people all the time, I’d be snapping some heads off probably cause of it.
